The radiation protection measures for the photoneutrons are one of the most important issue of radiation safety in high energy X-ray facilities. When the photoneutrons are released from the facility, the general public as well as occupational workers are exposed to unexpected radiations by neutron skyshine effect. In this study, the photoneutron inventory are calculated using monte carlo mothed, and the neutron skyshine dose rate is assessed using the inventory. A 9MeV X-ray cargo inspection facility is considered as a reference facility.

The properties of pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) were measured to use as basis data for the detection of irradiated foodstuffs (34 different foods). Samples were packed in polyethylene bags and irradiated at 1, 5, and 10 kGy with a dose rate of 10 kGy/h. The samples irradiated were introduced in the sample chamber without other preparation and measured PPSL photon counts for 60 and 120 s. The PPSL photo counts of the irradiated samples were higher than the unirradiated, increased with increasing irradiation dose, and showed a good relationship between irradiation doses and photon counts in a multinomial expression. These results suggest that the detection of irradiated foodstuffs was possible by PPSL. Therefore, PPSL can be proposed as the method for the detection of irradiated foodstuffs.

DA-125, a new anthracycline antitumor antibiotic, was administered at dose levels of 0, 0.2, 0.6 and 1.8 mg/kg/day intravenously to pregnant New Zealand White rabbits from day 6 through 18 of gestation. The does were subjected to the caesarean section on day 28 of gestation. Effects of test agent on general toxicity of does and embryonic development of F1 fetuses were examined. At 1.8 mg/kg, the organ weight for ovary of does was significantly decreased. The decrease in the number of corpus lutea, implantations and litter size, and the increase in the rate of resorptions were also observed. In addition, various types of external, visceral and skeletal malformations occurred in fetuses at an incidence of 7.7, 7.7 and 20.6%, respectively. The results show that the no effect dose levels (NOELs) of DA-125 are 0.6 mg/kg/day for does and F1 fetuses.

This study was carried out to investigate influencing factors of bisphenol A(BPA) removal characteristic in conventional water treatment systems to be connected with coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The result are summarized as follows; In BPA removal, optimal doses of PAC, alum, ferric chloride were 7.5 mg Al/L, 10.0 mg AI/L, 15.0 mg Fek. PAC was most effective coagulant to remove BPA. In coagulation process, BPA removal efficiency were increased about 2％ by adjusting pH of raw water as 6. At temperature rise 1$0^{\circ}C$, BPA removal efficiency were increased 0.94％. but BPA removal efficiency in sand filtration process were under 1 ％ie, so that BPA was almost not removed. At free chlorine dose 1, 2 mg/L, the reaction rate constant k in the BPA removal have been calculated to be 0.397, 0.953 min$^{-1}$ . At free chlorine dose 1, 2 mg/1-, degradation reaction of BPA was completed during 10 min and BFA removal efficiencies were 97.66, 99.99％ at this time.

In the case of designing a high dose rate remote controlled afterloading treatment room with existing hospital facilities. We must construct the effective protective barriers so as to reduce the primary and scattered radiation up to the maximum permissible dose level. It is difficult to reinforce the barrier thickness of the shielding requirements because of the limited space and the problem of the existing building structure at the surrounding area. Therefore we can reduce the intensity of primary radiation to the required degree at the location of interest with installing the appropriate I shaped Pb barriers between the radiation source and the shielding wall of the concrete. As a result, it was possible to reduce the intensity of the primary radiation below the M.P.D level by using additional Pb barriers instead of increasing thickness of concrete wall.

The $ED_{100p}$ is that value of the dose associated with 100p% response rate in the analysis of quantal response data. Brand, Pinnock, and Jackson (1973) studied the confidence bands of $ED_{100p}$ obtained by solving extremal values algebraically on the ellipsoid confidence region of the parameters in the simple logistic regression model. In this paper, we develope and illustrate a simpler method for obtaining confidence bands for $ED_{100p}$ based on the rectangular confidence region of parameters.

Effect of Jeo Ryong-Tang water Extract on Renal Function in Rabbit and Dog. In order to investigate the Pharmacological action of Jeo Ryoung-Tang on renal function, this study was performed in rabbit and dog, making use of it's water extract. Jeo Ryoung-Tang water extract (JRWE), when given into ear vein of rabbits, produced diuresis in a small dose, but antidiuresis in a large dose. Diuretic action of JRWE accompanied the increase of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF) and amounts of $Na^+$ in exdreated in urin, but fractional excretion of filtered $Na^+$ was not changed. JRWE, when injected into proleg's vein of dog, produced diuresis, At this time, changes of renal function were similar to that of diuresis in rabbit. JRWE, when infused into a renal artery of dog, exhibited the diuresis in both kidney. It is thought that JRWE, when given into vein of rabbit or dog, induces the diuresis, and the mechanism of it's diuresis is the increase of renal plasma flow through secondary action by some endogenous humoural substance.

A retrospective analysis of survival data of i2 cases with brain astrocytomas was presented. All patients received post·operative radiotherapy in the period of $1973\~1983$ at YUMC, Yonsei Cancer Center. There were 24 patients with Grade II, 12 patients with Grade III and 16 patients with Grade IV astrocytomas. Survival rates o ere analyzed according to histologic grade of malignancy, age, tumor location, radiation dose and extent of surgical tumor resection. 5year actuarial survival for patients with Grade II astrocytomas was $32.9\%$ and Grade III was $42.9\%$. The 1 year and 2 year survival rate of Grade astrocytomas were $46.7\%$ and $0\%$. Histologic grade of tumor was important prognostic factor in brain astrocytomas. Age and extent of surgical resection were significant prognostic (actors in all grades of astrocytomas and tumor location and radiation dose were significant in Grade f astrocytomas.

Recently combining regimen of minimal doses of chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine and midazolam is good in sedation of children. Midazoalm, water soluble benzdiazepine, has rapid onset and relatively short duration of action. And midazolam has prospective amnesic effect. With these advantages midazolam is popular in conscious sedation for children. This study was to reveal the dose-dependency of behavior and physiologic effects of submucosal midazolam. Sedation records were surveyed retrospectively, of which the patients admitted from April, 2005 to July, 2007. we assigned three groups according the dose of midazolam, 0.1 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg, respectively and the behavioral evaluation was analyzed with Houpt scale statistically. Combined submucosal midazolam increased the success rate in sedation and the vital signs were stable during sedation.
